So I low sided on the way to the dealer( battery keeps dying while its parked) yesterday going slowly ride by my house wheel spun in the first turn I took. Must have been some mud on my rear from my yard. I'm fine just annoyed.

The mirror and pod are reasonable but I can't afford 200 for a stator cover so I might just paint it for now. Ant suggestions on a color match?

Engine paint is Fusion Bronze IIRC.
Get a little bottle thru your dealer, it matches well.

The pod's plastic will clean up with 3M wet-dry and LOTS of water.
Start with 320 or 400, work up to 2000 then shift to 4-0 steel wool, then polish.

Glad you're OK.

If that engine touchup paint is anything like the Blue frame paint it won't match it at all, lol.

Leave it on and mask around it with tape and newspaper. Minor PITA compared to gaskets and fluids...
